My question stems from a 2023 article of a woman who charged her daughter $75 per month to add to their bills since she now works.

Generally, working-class children who stay with their parents do so to be able to save up enough money to start a fresh journey in life. Although it's still cheap to contribute to the bills like paying rent, buying groceries, etc compared to when they live outside their parent's house. But, young people like the girl in the article find it outrageous. Going through the article I saw responses from parents who admit they do the same thing. Do you think it's fine as a parent to demand bills such as rent from your working-class child because s/he stays in your house?

N/B: this thread is not exactly what happened in the article above.

If you really love your children as a parent you wouldn't put them under pressure no matter how bad the situation is. The reason why a child is still under his or her parents roof is because they don't have the capacity to stand on their own financially. Demanding for rent isn't right even if the child is working the best thing to do is ask for a little support or talk about the problem and see how it can be resolved together instead of demanding. A responsible child knows what to do when he or she is earning money without being told

I do agree on this.
